Organizational Transformation utilizing Learning Science as an instrument via Virtual Reality Instructional Design

Abstract

This is an action research study on how learning science elements were injected into a digital agency’s product development process. The cooperation and collaboration occurred through the interaction and production of a virtual reality case study with projected outcomes for the organization to utilize learning science tools and concepts. Over the course of five and a half months, I interacted with various levels of developers, graphic designers, executive management, and consultants to answer the question of what learning science concepts if applied to an educational virtual reality application would help the firm transform into a learning organization where their products and services would benefit from such a transformation. This cooperative discovery project provided a vehicle that delineated several recommendations adapted from the works in organizational management and instructional design.
